Until Monday, TrumpRx listed only branded products from manufacturers that struck deals with the administration to lower prices on certain medicines. Those included blockbuster obesity drugs from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, which have been available since the site's February launch.
Trump stated the platform has been visited more than 10 million times and has saved Americans more than $400 million. The site does not sell drugs directly but directs users to manufacturers' discount programs or provides coupons for use at pharmacies.
It primarily targets patients willing to pay cash and forgo insurance coverage.
